“We have discontinued adidas Medal Incentive Funding to coaches, previously amounting to 20% of that for athletes. While we acknowledge the hard work, dedication and outstanding results achieved by our coaches, the athletes must get priority in these tough economic times”.

“Also, most of our coaches of medallists are now in the business of coaching or employed by their member National Federations, the AIS, the Australian Sports Commission, and the State Institutes of Sport .They are being paid a wage whereas the athletes are not”.
.

What about the coaches who are not on the pay roll?
Australia seems good at that, its either black or white, no inbetween
Also - why does it cost $35000 per athlete to send them to the oly games once they make the team? Who is taking all that $?
